In the face of everyone's questioning eyes, Mo Zhengyan could only choose to be silent, and the group here also saw the situation clearly, /xshuotxt/com,,。 Chu Xiaoxin's pace slowed down, and he looked at Mo Zhengyan who was walking from the other end of the corridor. There was a smile on his face, and when he approached, he sighed and said, "It's not good to be a guest in such a hurry." ”

Mo Zhengyan said in a low voice, "I didn't do anything; ”

Chu Xiaoxin glanced at him, and that look was "Who believes you", which made Mo Zhengyan frown.

In such a confession, the group all turned back to the living room.

The living room is connected to the dining room, and the dining table in the dining room is already full of dishes, and the dishes and chopsticks have been arranged. It is the result of the joint efforts of Shanshan and Shaoyu, two sisters and brothers.

A table of sumptuous dishes was served, and Shao Yu smiled, "There are so many dishes!" ”

"Then let's hurry up and eat." Shanshan smiled, and Luo Zheng also shouted, "Let's all go to the table." ”

Everyone sat down in turn, here Su Nan and Xiao Mobai sat together, Mo Boyao and Chu Xiaoxin sat casually, and Shao Yu sat between Song Qiyue and Mo Zhengyan. On the other side, Luo Zheng and Shanshan were together, and in a position next to Shanshan, only one person was left who had not yet entered the seat.

"Uncle Si Nian, come and sit down." Shanshan shouted again, and Mosnian came forward.

When Luo Zheng saw Mo Sinian taking a seat, she looked at the Shaoyu family of three opposite, and then at Shanshan and Mo Sinian, and a strange feeling rose when she landed.

Su Nan was very happy, sitting at a table like this, it had not been so long.

"This fish is delicious, Shaoyu."

"I think it's delicious."

The children commented on the dishes, and Song Qiyue noticed that when they usually eat, their son doesn't have so many words, he always eats quietly, and the rules are not noisy. It's just a matter of meeting Shanshan. Shaoyu is even more lively. It seems that the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is really better than imagined.

Immediately. Another dish came up, it was boiled shrimp, a big pot full of it. As soon as the lid was opened, the smell came to my nose. Scattered everywhere. September is the season to eat shrimp, and it is also a seasonal food, which is naturally appetizing.

The group began to move, Su Nan ate one after another, Xiao Mobai saw that she was a little late, so he simply came to help her.

Luo Zheng smiled, "Xiao Mobai, are you Su Nan's third hand?" ”

"Mom, it's four hands;" Shanshan added.

Shao Yu was confused, "Why does my aunt have four hands?" ”

Everyone laughed again, Xiao Mobai was ridiculed, he was not in a hurry, but Su Nan, the shrimp dipped in vinegar swallowed it, and he was speechless immediately. Xiao Mobai patted his back, and Su Nan was able to open his mouth, "Shaoyu, my aunt only has two hands." ”

"What about the other two? Did my uncle's hand go to my aunt? Shaoyu asked.

"It's because Aunt Nan's hands are not enough, so I asked my uncle to help." Shanshan replied.

"But don't you have to do your own thing?" Shaoyu's teaching since childhood is like this, eating and the like are done independently early.

"Because my uncle loves Aunt Nan very much." Shanshan is nine years old after all, so she still understands, "Shaoyu, don't you think?" ”

"Oh, I think so." Shao Yu said, "Uncle loves my aunt very much, last time my aunt took me to play, in the room my aunt shouted, my uncle pressed on my aunt, but my uncle said that he was hurting my aunt, and my aunt said the same." ”

"Shao Yu ......" Su Nan was embarrassed, how could the child say anything, so she didn't know how to deal with herself.

The group of people at the table looked at them with even more interest, and Song Qiyue teased them even more meaningfully, "Xiao Mobai, you really love Su Nan."

Yes! Su Nan shouted in her heart, she looked at Xiao Mobai resentfully, it's you, let you not mess around!

Xiao Mobai could only reassure, "Nan'er, eat shrimp." ”

Everyone was smiling, and Mo Sinian was just silently peeling shrimp on the side. When Shanshan lowered her head, she saw that there were already several whole shrimps in the small bowl in front of her, "Thank you, Uncle Si Nian!" ”

"Eat." Moss called out in a young voice.

Luo Zheng glanced at it, she didn't know whether to be happy or hesitant in her heart, but she didn't have time to sort out her thoughts, turned her head to look at Shaoyu, she opened her mouth, "Shaoyu, don't you eat shrimp?" ”

"Yes." The child nodded.

"Shao Yu is troublesome again, he doesn't like to peel shrimp shells;" Shanshan explained.

A few people here know that Shaoyu doesn't like to peel shrimp shells by hand, although he is a child, he already dislikes eating shrimp too much trouble.

"Mommy, let's peel the shrimp shell for you." Song Qiyue said.

"July, your nails are so long, be careful to break them." Luo Zheng reminded that when everyone looked at her nails, they were indeed white and long.

At this moment, Mo Zhengyan had already rolled up his sleeves, "I'll come." ”

He moved slowly, took the shrimp, and peeled it off. Mo Zhengyan has always done everything slowly, and this moment is no exception. A shrimp is peeled off, the outer shell is still attached, and the shrimp meat inside is also clear.

"Daddy peels it so fast." Shao Yu praised, and Mo Zhengyan quickly peeled a bowl.

The bowl of shrimp meat was placed in front of Shaoyu, and the child began to eat it with chopsticks, which was the shrimp meat that his father peeled for him.

Song Qiyue saw that Mo Zhengyan was already peeling, and she didn't fight with him anymore.

"Auntie, don't you eat shrimp?" Shanshan saw that Song Qiyue didn't move the fresh shrimp, and she asked curiously, "Don't you like to eat shrimp?" ”

"It's not." Song Qiyue replied, "It's just ......" is just the latter words, and she is embarrassed to say it.

Because, in fact, she also ----

"Auntie, she also thinks it's troublesome to peel shrimp." Luo Zheng answered and replied to his daughter.

Why did Luo Zheng know, it was also by chance. That time, Mo Zhengyan took Shao Yu to the UK to play, and his aunt was still there at the time, and she also cooked fresh shrimp, but Shao Yu refused to learn to peel shrimp shells, and the little guy felt troublesome at that time. In private, Luo Zheng talked about Shao Yu and joked that he didn't know who Shao Yu was like.

At that time, Mo Zhengyan suddenly whispered something she didn't like either.

It was the first time Mo Zhengyan mentioned it a year after Song Qiqi left. Just one sentence, just passed quietly.

Luo Zheng was surprised by his mention at the time, but he realized that some things are too difficult to forget, and some people don't talk about it, but it doesn't mean to let go;

"Then let Daddy peel it." Shanshan understood, she smiled and said, "Anyway, Dad peels it so fast." ”

As Shanshan was talking, Song Qiyue also put down a bowl of shrimp meat in front of him, which was handed over by Mo Zhengyan, and he had just peeled the bowl.

Shanshan shouted, "Auntie, try it, this shrimp is delicious, isn't it, Shaoyu?" ”

"Yes!" Shaoyu has been concentrating on eating shrimp, and finally responded. He turned his head to look at his mother again, and seeing that she hadn't moved, the child directly picked up the shrimp meat in front of her and put it to her mouth, "Mom, you eat." ”

Her son fed her, and the shrimp meat was put to her mouth, Song Qiyue couldn't refuse her son's act of love, so she opened her mouth and bit it. Sure enough, the shrimp is tender and juicy, and it melts in the mouth.

"Auntie, is it delicious?" Shanshan asked.

Song Qiyue nodded, "Well, it's delicious." ”

As soon as the words fell, another bowl of shrimp meat was placed in front of Song Qiyue, which was handed by Mo Zhengyan.

Su Nan shouted, "Big brother, you are also peeling too fast, keep some of it, I can't keep up with your speed." "Mutai Ping Pong died.

"Auntie, don't you have four hands, why can't you keep up." Shao Yu asked, and everyone laughed again.

The lunch was originally a good meal, but it suddenly turned into a shrimp peeling competition, where several men finished peeling one after another, and it didn't take long for a large pot of shrimp to see the bottom, but this last one was sandwiched by Mo Sinian and Mo Zhengyan's chopsticks together.

"Your hands are so slow!" Su Nan complained about Xiao Mobai, and Xiao Mobai replied, "It's a little far away from my position." ”

"There's only one left." Mo Baiyao said, and Chu Xiaoxin watched from the sidelines.

I saw that the two pairs of chopsticks were holding the shrimp, but Mo Zhengyan and Mo Sinian refused to give in, Mo Sinian said, "Big brother, Kong Rong made the pear This story, it seems that you have forgotten." ”

"I don't think you understand the word "respect for the elder."

Respect for the elderly? How old is he? It's a shame that he said it;! Everyone was speechless, and Song Qiyue was also stunned, but for this shrimp, the two brothers were at a stalemate there.

Just as the two were fighting to the death on the chopsticks, the shrimp fell into the pot from mid-air.

In an instant, a pair of chopsticks entered and quickly took possession of the shrimp.

When the two of them looked at it, it turned out to be Shaoyu!

The child's movements were also fast, and he immediately caught the shrimp, Chu Xiaoxin smiled, "In the end, I lost to a child." ”

"Shaoyu, is it okay to take advantage of people's danger?" Mosnian asked.

"Uncle Si Nian, what do you mean by taking advantage of people's danger?" The child didn't understand, he only knew that he had got the shrimp.

"......" Mo Sinian was generalized in the army, and he was speechless at the moment.

Mo Zhengyan said, "Shaoyu, is this shrimp for Dad?" ”

"Yes." Shao Yu nodded, but he said, "It's for my mother." ”

One second ago, Mo Zhengyan was still smiling at Mo Sinian, and the next second, Mo Sinian raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Shaoyu doesn't like to peel shrimp, but at this moment he is seriously peeling the shrimp shell, his little hands are upside down, and he finally peels one, dips it in some soy sauce, and sends it to Song Qiyue's mouth. Song Qiyue ate it, Shao Yu looked at it expectantly, Song Qiyue said, "The shrimp peeled by Shao Yu is really delicious, my mother has eaten it, and it is the best!" ”

The child immediately said, "Mom, I will peel a lot of shrimp in the future!" ”

Mo Zhengyan frowned, in this way, didn't he steal all his work?

"It seems that next time I have to buy double servings, one pot is not enough." Luo Zheng came to the conclusion that whoever makes the men here love to peel shrimp.

After a good meal, everyone moved to the living room to rest, and after the meal, fruit was served, and Shanshan began to open the gifts sent by everyone. Unwrapped one by one, Shanshan received a beautiful school bag, and she was happy, "This is my favorite color!" ”

"Sister Shanshan, I told my mother!" Shao Yu immediately invited credit.

"Thank you Shaoyu, thank you aunt, thank you Dad." Shanshan immediately thanked her;

Shao Yu said again, "Sister Shanshan, my mother also bought me a schoolbag today, and when my schoolbag is broken in the future, I will carry this." ”

"You're so happy, my aunt bought me a gift, and you want one too." Shanshan said with a smile, she continued to open the gifts, Su Nan and Xiao Mobai gave two sets of beautiful dresses, Mo Boyao chose a set of books, and Chu Xiaoxin collided with Mo Boyao here, which was also a set of books. Thankfully, it's a different book.

This last gift was given by Mosnian, and when Shanshan opened it, she was very surprised, "It's one hundred and sixty-eight colors of oil paint!" ”

Shanshan was also very talented when she was learning to paint, and she always wanted such a paint box, this gift was simply the best for her, she held the paint plate, ran to Mo Sinian, and hugged him, "Thank you, Uncle Si Nian!" ”

"If you like it." Moss patted her lightly on the back.

"Shaoyu, look, I have one hundred and sixty-eight colors of oil paint!" Even though she is nine years old, as soon as she touches something she likes, Shanshan becomes a little girl again.

"That's a lot." Shao Yu also smiled, "Sister Shanshan, let's paint." ”

"Okay!" Shanshan immediately responded, but this paint couldn't be touched, because it was to use a paintbrush, she immediately took out an oil pastel, "Shaoyu, let's use this to paint." ”

The two siblings sat cross-legged together on the coffee table in the living room and began to draw. As soon as the children painted, Su Nan also joined, and even took a few men to see it from time to time. Chu Xiaoxin sat behind Shanshan, and he smiled, "Shanshan, what are you painting?" ”

"Which one?" Shanshan asked.

The two of them discussed the album even more, Chu Xiaoxin became interested, and picked up the paint color to compare, "This color should be this one." ”

"Uncle Xiaoxin, your ability to distinguish colors is so strong." Shanshan couldn't help but praise.

Song Qiyue was beside Shaoyu, of course, she also heard the conversation between Chu Xiaoxin and Shanshan, she looked up, and couldn't help staring for a while, it was Chu Xiaoxin's gentle and smiling face.

It's that kind of cold gaze again! Chu Xiaoxin felt it again, he looked for it, but when he saw Song Qiyue looking at him like this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

After a while, Song Qiyue got up to pour the juice, and Chu Xiaoxin also stood up and walked to the table in the side hall, which was full of various drinks;

"Song Qiyue, where did I offend you?" Chu Xiaoxin asked.

"Nope." Song Qiyue returned.

"What do you always do with cold arrows on the sidelines?" Chu Xiaoxin really couldn't figure it out, Song Qiyue poured the juice, she turned around and said, "When did you release the cold arrow, but seeing you love the child so much, it really surprised me." ”

"I love Shanshan, what makes you look uncomfortable?" Shanshan is Luo Zheng's daughter, Luo Zheng and Chu Xiaoxin are also friends, and his love is the same as that of others, and he is not particularly prominent, Chu Xiaoxin really can't figure it out.

Song Qiyue said with a smile, "I just thought, if you have a child, you must be a good father." However, Mr. Chu is always alone, and it is probably difficult. ”

What she said was plain, but that feeling made Chu Xiaoxin more and more uncomfortable, and she always felt that she had something in her words, Chu Xiaoxin said, "Today is a party, you don't need such an official title to call me." ”

"It's hard to get used to it." Song Qiyue replied, she picked up the juice and left.

Chu Xiaoxin frowned, but when he saw Mo Zhengyan coming, he passed by Song Qiyue, and when Mo Zhengyan saw Chu Xiaoxin's expression, he asked, "What did you talk about?" ”

"She just doesn't like me." Chu Xiao said.

"Don't think about it."

"I didn't think much about it, I was sure." Chu Xiaoxin was even more affirmative, but what did she mean by those words?

The two children were drawing, of course, the group wanted to appreciate it, but at the moment it was just an improvised painting, but Shanshan painted it vividly, and everyone here painted it. Shaoyu helped his sister color together, and the two sisters and brothers completed it together.

Everyone looked at the paintings laid out on the coffee table, and Shao Yu pointed over one by one, "This is Uncle Bai Yao, this is Uncle Xiaoxin, this is the eldest aunt, this is Sister Shanshan, this is Dad, this is Mother, this is Uncle Si Nian, this is Aunt Si and Uncle......"

"This is me." Everyone read it around, and Shao Yu pointed to the last self in the painting.

"It's so nicely drawn;" Su Nan smiled and praised, "But next time, remember to draw my little aunt better, as for my uncle, it's just whatever." ”

The little guy nodded, pointing his finger like this, but suddenly asked, "Dad has a mother, the little aunt has an uncle, Uncle Xiaoxin, Uncle Bai Yao and Uncle Si Nian, why are you not with your aunt?" ”

The children are concerned about the matching of adults, and Su Nan said, "That's because they are all single." ”

"What is single?"

"To be single is to not be married and not have children." Su Nan explained.

"What about the eldest aunt?" Shao Yu suddenly asked again, "Auntie, where is my uncle?" ”

If in the past, the child was still confused about the relationship, but now, Shaoyu has seen his mother, and the child is suddenly confused about the aunt.

Shao Yu asked, and looked at Luo Zhenglai, and everyone was stunned, but they all looked at her.

Suddenly, Shanshan froze, and Moss Nian froze there.

Luo Zheng didn't know how to answer, facing such a question from the child.

Song Qiyue saw Shanshan's face looking at Luo Zheng at this moment, with a hint of longing in surprise, that kind of gaze, the same as the Shaoyu she had seen, was also such an inquiring eye, in fact, the child wanted to know.

"Shaoyu, it's good if you have a brother-in-law, doesn't the brother-in-law hurt Shaoyu?" Su Nan hurriedly broke the deadlock and guided the child to other topics, "What my aunt told you just now, next time I will draw my aunt more beautifully, and my face will be a little thinner and smaller, do you know?" ”

The child did not insist on inquiry, but began to explore the painting again, "But little aunt, you are a round face." ”

"Shaoyu, you are stupid, Aunt Nan wants to be beautiful, then next time we will draw a thinner one." Shanshan replied.

"But the teacher said that if you see what it is, you should draw it." The child was inexplicable, and Su Nan complained.

After this topic was brought over, Luo Zheng was obviously relieved, and the atmosphere relaxed suddenly. Mosnian sat on the sidelines, but he was thoughtful;

In the afternoon, a few men played Go, while the two children played together. Song Qiyue accompanied the children, and after afternoon tea, Luo Zheng went to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

Shao Yu got up after a while, ran to watch them play chess, and in the hall by the corridor, the sun was shining outside, and Shanshan sat on the promenade facing the garden, painting by herself.

As soon as Song Qiyue came over with a tissue, he only saw Shanshan alone.

The girl, sitting there obediently, painting alone, her back blending into the shadow of the sun, but she seemed so lonely and lonely. This made Song Qiyue think of Shao Yulai, I don't know if it was such a person sitting in the past.

"Shanshan." Song Qiyue walked over and sat down beside her, "Why are you sitting here alone?" ”

"Shaoyu went to see his father, and they went to play chess." Shanshan replied with a smile, but after saying this, she paused and said again, "Auntie, I know, you are a godmother." ”

Song Qiyue was suddenly silent, and said, "My godmother and my mother showed me exactly the same photo, when I first saw you, I recognized it, it was a photo of my brother's 100-day banquet." ”

Song Qiyue smiled, "Shanshan is very smart and has a good memory." ”

"Well, but I also know that godmother is your aunt, because dad is actually mom's younger brother." Shanshan also said that children's honest words will make people's hearts calm and soft.

But how can a child know so clearly? Song Qiyue couldn't help but think, maybe it was because Shanshan was a big child, but how did she accept these truths. What she thinks of as "Dad" isn't really her father?

Song Qiyue couldn't find out, Shanshan smiled and said, "However, my brother is so good, I don't call my uncle to call my father, and Shaoyu also agreed." Auntie, it's good that you're back, so Shaoyu also has a mother. ”

"I used to tell Shaoyu to let him call my mother and call my mother, but Shaoyu refused." Shanshan replied, "He said that his aunt is his aunt, why is it his mother?" It's great now. ”

An aunt is an aunt, why a mother.

Song Qiyue felt sorry for her son, but she looked at Shanshan, and couldn't help but feel sad for her, how many times, she also asked her uncle like this, why is it her father?

Thinking of the days when Shao Yu and Shanshan were interdependent, Song Qiyue's hand was gently raised, she caressed Shanshan and hugged her in, "Shanshan is also a good child, the same as Shao Yu; ”

"Do you like to draw?" Song Qiyue asked.

"Yes."

"I heard you won an award?"

"Yes, the second prize for primary school students in London, England."

"That's great, mom must have been very happy that day."

"Mom is so happy." Shanshan nodded, also proud, she said, her voice soft, "Auntie, can I ask you a question." ”

The two sisters and brothers are really the same, Song Qiyue said, "Yes." ”

"Auntie, have you ever seen my father?" Shanshan asked suddenly.

The child is really sensitive, and he wants to know about his father's existence, Song Qiyue pondered, "Does Shanshan also want to see her father?" ”

Shanshan shook her head, "I want to see Uncle Longlegs." ”

"Uncle Longlegs?" Song Qiyue was puzzled by the existence of this person, and Shanshan said, "Uncle Longleg has always written to me, and will send me a lot of things, as well as postcards, but he has never called me, he said that he lives in China, I really want to come back, I don't want to live in the UK anymore." ”

"Auntie, En......" Shan hesitated, but finally asked, "I want to ask you, is Uncle Longleg Uncle Si Nian?" ”

"How do you think so?"

"Because last time I wrote to Uncle Longlegs and told him that I wanted that paint pan very much, Uncle Sinian gave it to me today. I only told Uncle Longleg one, and I didn't even tell my mother. Shanshan said, "Are they the same person?" ”

It's the child's eyes, always so clear and innocent, that people can't lie, Song Qiyue was stunned. In the silent staring at each other, Song Qiyue spoke, "Shanshan, in fact, do you want to ask me if Uncle Si Nian is your father." ”
